Key Features

The Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree offered by University of Southern California fosters the development of logical, quantitative, and analytic skills needed for clear thinking and effective communication.

Using the fundamentals of economic, political, and philosophical analysis, students address the political, economic, legal, and moral dimensions of social problems within a broad context of humanistic concerns.

As a result, successful graduates leave the program with a wide range of options involving either more specialized study of philosophy, politics, or economics, or careers in, business, economics, law, or public service.

The major requires 11 courses including an introductory lower division course, a final capstone seminar, and a range of further courses in the three disciplines.
